@dsstrainer How can you hook up 101 inputs? There are only 54 (by my count) male connections, and 11 of those I assume are daisy-chained grounds.

@chubsta see if you can get hold of the PlayStation Mini console. Two USB PS1 controllers are included (but sadly not the analog ones)

@RpiBeginner said in Sound error in retropie: Its always easy to suggest "Use another sound card".. I was suggesting to change the settings in Emulationstation, not the device...

Welcome to this forum. Please provide all the information that is asked for in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first in addition to the vendor and model of the wireless keyboard.

@RpiBeginner Thank you. English isn't my native language and I wasn't sure if you meant "[A while ago] I tested it with my pc [and there was no hiss], and [now on the Raspberry Pi] the hiss is still there". :) So it may very well be that the usb card is faulty or just not very good.

@nielogiczny Makes sense! I had to do that with the 8-bitdo SNES Bluetooth controller. The setup script had it as an option. Before that, only one or 2 of the key presses would do anything, and it registered as a keyboard when it did. Glad you got it working!

@KN4THX you really can't beat them for the price.

maybe you can try this: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/21573/ledspicer-new-led-animation-controller-for-linux

@Parabolaralus Yeah I'll either figure it out or install linux (what is a good distro for dell laptops?). This pc I found at a garbage dump, the hard drive was failing, the battery shot, and it was a little beaten up from being discarded. I restored it with a ssd, and a new battery. I think it came with windows 7, but there was no sticker on the back. I downloaded the USB Windows 10 upgrade from microsoft, these were free upgrades some time ago. I had assumed Education postulating that it would activate for free, but I have no qualifications for those terms. Back on topic: ExFat has been working great with allocation unit size 8192b. NTFS-3g may have been a problem in particular with dosbox because of the write syncs.

Thanks @mitu, that'll get me started :D

@swimdad84 it looks like it. You can also plug your phone into that dongle too to test it I suppose or just plug the pi into it.

So I finally figured it out. As usual it was a couple things, but none of them were as difficult as I was looking for. Everything was a little out of date, and because I was working on wifi, i figured id let it update everything over night. Turns out I hadnt done that since enabling usbrom service. After the update it (mostly) solved my problem, and after putting the pi on stretch instead of Jessie I'm good. Thanks @Efriim for going down the rabbit hole with me. I appreciated your help

Hi Raspburger, I have been trying the same Piranha controller with both my PC and Ubuntu and a Raspberry Pi 3B with a full Raspbian and had exactly the same problem as you describe. I have seen in this topic that you mentioned a hotkey that could switch the controller between PS3 and XBOX modes and after a few minutes trying I found that holding "Analog" button for 5-10 seconds actually forced the controller to initialize as PS3, and it works out of the box now on both my Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi/Raspbian. Hope this helps.

@EpicWings You need to resize the 5Gb partition to take the rest of the 64 Gb of your USB disc. Use a live CD with System Rescue CD on your PC, boot it up, then insert your USB stick and resize the 2nd partition using GParted.

@DarkkMatter the retropie system is created from the $HOME/RetroPie/retropiemenu folder - make sure you copied it to the USB along with the roms, splashscreen, BIOS folders. If in doubt, you can re-install the retropiemenu package from the RetroPie-Setup script and it will be re-created in the correct location.

@Efriim Then the problem is the Samba share and not the Pi. Restart Samba after you the USB is mounted and then re-try to copy the file to the share.

@GoldManSex778 I did try that and still ran into issues so said hell with it...erased everything off of USB drive and started from scratch at instructions for manually mounting. Since I had copied everything over using a previous copy method and that might have been causing issues. Right now I'm copying the correct directory structure over, so hopefully everything will work properly now once I do the rest of the steps lol. If anything I've learned some things about Linux from the experience. Final Update: Success! Thank you all for helping! For anyone ever going through this, one of two things I think was the issue: NOT following the instructions to the letter manually mounting, or my UUID was wrong. I had the last char wrong, but could have sworn it was something different before(either new copy changed UUID, or was my error). Resolution on a laptop helps reading the characters much more clearly than on the TV screen where its almost a guessing game. I used WinSCP to confirm that its working, and booting up was much faster!
